Date of approvalAugust 2026
TypeStudy permit

My brother was refused a US visa years ago, and somehow that turned into this family belief that none of us would ever get one. Emig reassured me every application stands on its own, mine had nothing to do with his. Visa issued in August, headed to Davis for the fall term. So thankful to Emig for helping me let go of fear that was never even really mine.

I almost mentioned my earlier US workshop as just a throwaway line in my travel history, not realizing it was actually the whole reason I was applying now. Emig helped me connect it properly to my whole story instead. Visa issued in July, heading to Missouri this August. So grateful to Emig for seeing what I almost buried in my own application.

We had the money saved for my heart procedure in Houston, but our bank statements alone didn't actually explain what it was for.

So thankful to Emig for helping us get this right when it mattered most.

Victor Santos Work permit

FromPhilippines
ForUnited States
Date of approvalOctober 2025
TypeWork permit

Our first attempt just said we'd hire staff "as needed," way too vague to prove I'd actually be managing anyone yet. Emig helped me build an actual quarter-by-quarter hiring plan instead, specific roles, specific timing. Visa issued in October, running our new Austin office now, right on schedule. Really grateful to Emig for making me think it through properly before anyone else asked.

Date of approvalAugust 2025
TypeVisitor visa

A neighbor told me to downplay my daughter's pregnancy in my interview since that's apparently what gets people denied. Emig told me the opposite, be fully honest and just document everything else clearly. Visa issued in August, held my granddaughter just weeks later. So glad I listened to Emig instead of the fear-based advice everyone else gave me.

Date of approvalDecember 2024

My hospital's first job description for my visa made my role sound like any standard nursing job, which almost didn't qualify at all. Emig helped us rewrite it to actually show the specialized charge nurse work and certification my job really required. Visa issued in December, already precepting new nurses here. Truly grateful to Emig for not letting my experience get lost on paper.

I never even got on a plane before, 52 years old and the whole visa thing scared me more than meeting my first grandchild did. My daughter found Emig and we did everything.. We practiced interview questions in my kitchen over and over. Visa came in May, I held my grandbaby a month later. Thank you Emig, and my Angela too, for not giving up on me.
